A shame that a federal minister couldn't comport himself.

If someone doesn't rein Wike in, he might cause a big problem in Nigeria with his attitude.

This was a near miss of armed men shooting at each other.

Yes, but that does not give a soldier the right to disobey the Minister

You guys will be saying we don't do things right and then dump it becaise politics

Two wrongs don't make a right. Whether na tinubu or anyone else

Or you go gree if this happened under GEJ? You will be saying northerners are at it again

As for me, whoever is in charge , a soldier has no right to disobey a minister of the republic. Don't support bad thing. I no like tinubu and wike, and at the same time, I no supprt wrongs
The Minister was there to grab land, Wike should have respected the uniform the officer was so polite but firm 😂

Impressive insights.

There are way too many ignorant online posters and uninformed people on the street level putting up puerile and selective reasonings in support of indiscipline by military personnel because Nyesom Wike is involved. Later on or down the road when the military indiscipline is TURNED on them (like the ruthless BANEX Plaza invasion episode of about 3 years ago via a military invasion of that Plaza), they would start shouting on social media for help to rescue them.
Wike stooped too low, way too low. Why engage in a shouting contest?

Just why? And you don't call a soldier a fool wearing our colour? That's all shades of wrong.

The officer will definitely be reprimanded and warned.
Re: Meet AM Yerima: The Naval Officer Who Challenged Wike Over Abuja Land (Photos) by SamuelLoch: 8:27pm On Nov 11, 2025
Did I hear Mr. Nyesom Wike say "if not that the Chief of Defense called me, we could have killed everybody here"


Modified:
That soldier is a 3-star officer. He is either Wike's set or above him in political office holding rank
Re: Meet AM Yerima: The Naval Officer Who Challenged Wike Over Abuja Land (Photos) by Patojargz: 8:27pm On Nov 11, 2025
Wike should be suspended till further notice!

Big embarrassment of the century.

Very sensible comments, what is a naval officer doing there and I really object to him retorting at the Minister'

No soldier in a Democratic setting should challenge public office holder openly, it is bad sign for our democracy but the hatred for Wike won't let truth be told

What the soldier did was wrong.

I know, so I will say this...I am not a tinubu supporter and wike is a awful minister of the fct with corruption all over him

But he is the minister of the fct. And if a soldier is disobeying a minister of the republic, and people are hailing him because tinubu, it shows that people who are in opposition are just as lawless as those in government.

Obey constituted authority

But then again we have a habit in this country of not following the rules and authority. Whether we support tinubu or not. See MC olumo

But the fact that we have a government of essentially bad people does not make yerima action right

Would those praising the lieutenant be doing so if it was an Obi appointee as fct minister? And would those critical of the lieutenant be praising him if obi was president?

We are so blinded by politics that we don't want to do the right thing.

Like I said, if you read this and think I support tinubu, think again. I would say this if it was obi as president or anyone else . If you like , support the lieutenant. Don't complain when you see a bad situation right. Like I always say, apc won't have been in charge if opposition was united.
If u understand the military setting u will know that they act based on orders. An officer must always act in accordance wit the order given to him/her from a superior officer.
Isn't that why late Fela called them Zombies? They are trained to follow orders to the last. Therefore, there was nothing Lt Yerima could have don because he was acting on an order from his boss. And in such a situation only his boss is capable of telling him to withdraw.
We shouldn't blame the officer here because there was nothing he could have done. Except u want him to disobey his boss and risk serious punishment.

How do you know he was there to grab land?

Yes, wike is a land tout literally...but there is no proof that he was there to grab land for now.

If you have proof show it.

P.s : let's not justify wrong please..note that I don't like the man wike. But two wrongs don't make a right

Also fck apc

I am proud of this Officer. He stood tall of his profession A bold and gallant officer being challenged by a bloody civilian.

You may criticize Wike for his rough language and whatever other misbehaviour he exhibited at the site. His actions are his and his alone.

However, you are crossing the line with that general talk about bloody civilians. You certainly don't want to go there.

Since he is not an Igbo man, see as everywhere is lovely and people joking endlessly, even the Jail him agitators are drinking to the fun.....

Wike should relax, we can't fight or talk to our Masters anyhow please....

the soldier is doing what any fool with gun can do. It's unprofessional, it's thuggery and it's the problem with Nigeria.
form people like you who don't know or respect constituted authority.
Go to court..go and start implementing your laws with Mc Oluomo first..what’s good for the goose is good for the Ganda

Army is still subordinate to the cabinet and the president.

God knows I want to side with the soldier, but unfortunately, wike, as obnoxious as he is is still.the soldier's superior

From the way you guys are talking it's as if you believe the army is superior to the government. Better not complain then when the army mistreats people because as you imply, army always right .

I like the decorum displayed by the Lieutenant. He was following orders and he knew the consequences of disobeying an order.
The Minister should have understood that the Lieutenant is a military personnel and not a civilian or paramilitary personnel. He would have just walked away knowing fully well that a military man does not take order from a civilian.

Baba you for slap the drunk, nothing will happen.
He's a bloody civilian.

You may want to look to Wike and Wike alone for answers on what took place at that site with that seaman.

The matter has nothing to do with the millions of other Nigerian civilians going about their lawful business in this lawless country. These civilians do not take kindly to being cursed out and called 'bloody'. undecided

Be guided.

People go back am if na igbo man.

At the end, regardless of the tribes , a soldier is unfortunately not superior to a minister
I will.say this if it was obi or anyone else as president.

As obnoxious as wike is, if we allowed disrespect from the army, tomorrow it would backfire on us in ways we don't like

Lord knows I've been abused by people who are my superiors sometimes, and Lord knows I kept my mouth shut even when I was right

I get ur point sir. But my own point is that the blame should rather go to the Admiral that gave the order and not the LT who was only carrying out the order.

The problem is not the argument, the problem is people are angry with the government and the leadership..and the soldier has become resprentative of their argument

That means that apc and tinubu got work to do.

Also at the end of the day, wike was a bit too over the top. Ego is a problem with humans.

Your leader must lead us well.

Still.doesnt make the soldier right

That soja boy is lacking in discipline. Even if you are under orders, he should have been less garrulous. He showed great disrespect to Wike, a ranking federal minister

Him and whoever sent him have to be seriously reprimanded.

Wike seats on the same table with the bosses of his chiefs
